I have a couple of pics of the donor roof pieces after I drilled out all the spot welds and separated them, and there are MANY spot welds. I will try to post these and any future pics from the roof project. Well cost wise the donor roof cost $50 from a salvage yard just sawzalled it right off. Time into this so far 5 to 10 min. to cut it off, 1 and 1/2 hours to drill out spot welds and separate the pieces, sandblasting the skins 30 to 45 min. I got lucky I found a donor roof with decent inner and outer skins, they will need some work but at least I have the complete inner skin, since they don't press that complete panel yet.
